Commit 6fccbb475b fixed a bug caused by
QEMU attempting to remove a throttle group member with no pending
requests but an active timer set. This was the result of a previous
bdrv_drained_begin() call processing the throttled requests but
leaving the timer untouched.
Although the commit does solve the problem, the situation shouldn't
happen in the first place. If we try to drain a throttle group member
which has a timer set, we should cancel the timer instead of ignoring
it.

In the throttling code after an I/O request has been completed the
next one is selected from a different member using a round-robin
algorithm. This ensures that all members get a chance to finish their
pending I/O requests.
However, if a group member has its I/O limits disabled (because it's
being drained) then we should always give it priority in order to have
all its pending requests finished as soon as possible.
If we don't do this we could have a member in the process of being
drained waiting for the throttled requests of other members, for which
the I/O limits still apply.
This can have additional consequences: if we're running in qtest mode
(with QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL) then timers can only fire if we advance the
clock manually, so attempting to drain a block device can hang QEMU in
the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() loop at the end of bdrv_do_drained_begin().

Throttle groups consist of members sharing one throttling state
(including bps/iops limits). Round-robin scheduling is used to ensure
fairness. If a group member already has a timer pending then other
groups members do not schedule their own timers. The next group member
will have its turn when the existing timer expires.
A hang may occur when a group member leaves while it had a timer
scheduled. Although the code carefully removes the group member from
the round-robin list, it does not schedule the next member. Therefore
remaining members continue to wait for the removed member's timer to
expire.
This patch schedules the next request if a timer is pending.
Unfortunately the actual bug is a race condition that I've been unable
to capture in a test case.
Sometimes drive2 hangs when drive1 is removed from the throttling group:
$ qemu ... -drive if=none,id=drive1,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=data1.qcow2,iops=100,group=foo \

In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in
qapi-schema.json triggers a recompile of about 4800 out of 5100
objects.
The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h,
qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards.
Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need.
To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now

tg->any_timer_armed[] must be cleared when detaching pending timers from
the AioContext. Failure to do so leads to hung I/O because it looks
like there are still timers pending when in fact they have been removed.
Other ThrottleGroupMembers might have requests pending too so it's
necessary to schedule the next TGM so it can set a timer.
This patch fixes hung I/O when QEMU is launched with drives that are in
the same throttling group:
(guest)$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vdb oflag=direct bs=512 &
(guest)$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vdc oflag=direct bs=512 &
(qemu) stop
(qemu) cont

I/O requests hang after stop/cont commands at least since QEMU 2.10.0
with -drive iops=100:
(guest)$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vdb oflag=direct count=1000
(qemu) stop
(qemu) cont
...I/O is stuck...
This happens because blk_set_aio_context() detaches the ThrottleState
while requests may still be in flight:
if (tgm->throttle_state) {
throttle_group_detach_aio_context(tgm);
throttle_group_attach_aio_context(tgm, new_context);
}
This patch encloses the detach/attach calls in a drained region so no
I/O request is left hanging. Also add assertions so we don't make the
same mistake again in the future.

block/throttle.c uses existing I/O throttle infrastructure inside a

The driver can be used with the syntax

ThrottleGroup is converted to an object. This will allow the future
throttle block filter drive easy creation and configuration of throttle
groups in QMP and cli.
A new QAPI struct, ThrottleLimits, is introduced to provide a shared
struct for all throttle configuration needs in QMP.
ThrottleGroups can be created via CLI as
-object throttle-group,id=foo,x-iops-total=100,x-..
where x-* are individual limit properties. Since we can't add non-scalar
properties in -object this interface must be used instead. However,
setting these properties must be disabled after initialization because
certain combinations of limits are forbidden and thus configuration
changes should be done in one transaction. The individual properties
will go away when support for non-scalar values in CLI is implemented
and thus are marked as experimental.
ThrottleGroup also has a `limits` property that uses the ThrottleLimits
struct. It can be used to create ThrottleGroups or set the
configuration in existing groups as follows:
{ "execute": "object-add",
"arguments": {
"qom-type": "throttle-group",
"id": "foo",
"props" : {
"limits": {
"iops-total": 100
}
}
}
}
{ "execute" : "qom-set",
"arguments" : {
"path" : "foo",
"property" : "limits",
"value" : {
"iops-total" : 99
}
}
}
This also means a group's configuration can be fetched with qom-get.

Starting all waiting coroutines from bdrv_drain_all is unnecessary;
throttle_group_co_io_limits_intercept calls schedule_next_request as
soon as the coroutine restarts, which in turn will restart the next
request if possible.
If we only start the first request and let the coroutines dance from
there the code is simpler and there is more reuse between
throttle_group_config, throttle_group_restart_blk and timer_cb. The
next patch will benefit from this.
We also stop accessing from throttle_group_restart_blk the
blkp->throttled_reqs CoQueues even when there was no
attached throttling group. This worked but is not pretty.
The only thing that can interrupt the dance is the QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
timer when switching from one block device to the next, because the
timer is set to "now + 1" but QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL might not be running.
Set that timer to point in the present ("now") rather than the future
and things work.

In 27ccdd5259 the throttling fields were
moved from BlockDriverState to BlockBackend. However in a few cases
the code started using throttling fields from the active BlockBackend

This can cause starvation if there's a throttling group with several

throttle_group_unregister_bs() removes a BlockDriverState from its

be no pending throttled requests at that point (because it would be
impossible to complete them), so the caller has to drain them first.
At the moment throttle_group_unregister_bs() is only called from
bdrv_io_limits_disable(), which already takes care of draining the
requests, so there's nothing to worry about, but this patch makes

Calling throttle_group_config() cancels all timers from a particular
BlockDriverState, so any_timer_armed[] should be updated accordingly.
However, with the current code it may happen that a timer is armed in
a different BlockDriverState from the same group, so any_timer_armed[]
would be set to false in a situation where there is still a timer
armed.
The consequence is that we might end up with two timers armed. This
should not have any noticeable impact however, since all accesses to
the ThrottleGroup are protected by a lock, and the situation would
become normal again shortly thereafter as soon as all timers have been
fired.
The correct way to solve this is to check that we're actually
cancelling a timer before updating any_timer_armed[].

The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling
algorithm.
The principles of the algorithm are simple:
- Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way.
- The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right
timer.
- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token
will become the next active BDS.
